IMPROVEMENT IN CAR-TRUCKS.

Speciiicationforming part of Letters Patent No. 128,898, dated July 9, 1872.

To all whom .it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OsEPH OLNEY, of Bun net, in the county of Burnet and in the State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Truck; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

4The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement of each wheel of a car-truck up on the outer end of a separate short axle, the bearings of each axle being both located On the inner side `of the wheel and the bearing at the inner end of the axle provided with a sliding-box and springs, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable oth'ers skilled in the art to Which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and Operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a bottom view, and Flg. 2 a lon gitudinal vertical section, of my improved carl and the inner end of each axle is placed in a sliding box, c, which, in turn, is placed in a horizontallygrooved stationary box, D, at-

any curve or crook in the rails, preventing it from running off the Same.

By locating both bearings E and D on the inner side of the Wheels, it will readily be seen that the motion of the inner end of the axle necessary to allow the wheel to followr any bend in the track will be comparatively small, while if the bearings were one on each side of the Wheel this motion would have to be larger.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a car truck, the arrangement of each wheel B upon the Outer end of a separate short` axle,'(), the bearings E and D of each axle being both located on the inner side of the wheel, and the bearing D on the inner end of the axle provided with a sliding box, a, pins b b, and springs d d, all as herein shown and described, and for the purposes set forth. i In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of March, 1872.
